Vehicle Modifications: Useful Considerations for Life Care Planners

Most people with catastrophic injuries or complex health care needs that impact mobility will require specialized transportation adaptations. The needs range from minor modifications to very high tech and custom designed modified vans. This article, primarily based on a case study, will outline some of the basic issues associated with life care planning and transportation needs, with special emphasis on why some modified vans are very expensive to produce.

Abstract

Most people with catastrophic injuries or complex health care needs that impact mobility will require specialized transportation adaptations. The needs range from minor modifications to very high tech and custom designed modified vans. This article, primarily based on a case study, will outline some of the basic issues associated with life care planning and transportation needs, with special emphasis on why some modified vans are very expensive to produce.
